jQuery, Ajax, prepend and events (onclick?)

   1:  new_elem = '<a href="#" onclick="alert('alert')">MyAdd</a>';

   2:  var test = $(new_elem);

   3:  $('#home_column').prepend(test);

   1:  $.ajax({

   2:          success: function(data){

   3:              new_elem = '<a href="#" onclick="alert('alert')">MyAdd</a>';

   4:              var test = $(new_elem);

   5:              $('#home_column').prepend(test);

   6:          }, 

   7:          url: 'http://twitter.com/statuses/friends_timeline.json' + app.twitter.since_parameter()

   8:      });

So….this code is placed in $(document).ready….it runs…the element is added to the DOM…life is good right? NOPE! I can’t click on it…well I can but nothing happens.

I think my ajaxSetup is pretty standard...

   1:  $.ajaxSetup({

   2:      mode:'queue',

   3:      beforeSend: function(xhr) {

   4:          var auth = $.base64Encode(USERNAME + ":" + PASSWORD);

   5:          xhr.setRequestHeader("Authorization", "Basic " + auth);

   6:          xhr.setRequestHeader("Cookie", "");

   7:          xhr.setRequestHeader("If-Modified-Since", 'Sun, 1 Jan 2007 18:54:41 GMT');

   8:      },

   9:      dataType: "json",

  10:      type: "GET"

  11:  });
